1. Build a stockpile of food
They seem to have the right idea, but don't quite get it. What is useful is passive solar (not solar electric) and that applies to a house or greenhouse. Mostly that requires lots of insulation and thermal mass, and ways to keep from overheating in the summer. I think the ideas here are great, but the article sounds like it was written by theoreticians.
Biodiesel, and the fence aren’t ideas I really think are productive, and solar is expensive, for a home, but helps to keep the batteries charged in an RV pretty well, provided there is SUN and isn’t that expensive if you stick to the RV, other than that, I’m working on the Greenhouse, all others done or a work in progress.

I have a deal with my neighbors - they stockpile food, I stockpile guns.
We are going to share.
When do you think I should inform them of our deal?
;)
It should go without saying that you will need the ‘Implements’ to accomplish this task, not to mention keeping you safe from those that didn’t prepare.
